Somber gray clouds passed over the parched lands of the bay area to deliver some much needed rain this weekend. However, the deluge was but a prelude for a weekend of family drama and soul-searching. Rain is an equitable disruptor, bringing upheaval and turmoil to both the rich and the poor, weddings and funerals, Gentiles […]

On July 4th, I landed in San Francisco airport. Exhausted from the flight, I stepped into the restroom to throw some water on my face. Standing in front of the mirror, I looked very much like the person who had departed less than five days earlier. Maybe a little darker, a few pounds lighter. But somehow, […]

Our stay in San Francisco has come to a close. A month has passed with the ephemeral fleetness of a beautiful dream. My wife and I will never forget the people and places (and the food!) we have experienced here in the bay area. Serving this church over the past month has been a real […]

My name is James Kim and I am a Korean American pastor based in New York. I was blessed to be invited by Full Gospel to be a visiting guest pastor for the month of July. When my wife Janice and I landed in the bay area, our immediate impression was “Wow!” All of our […]

God has brought many people to Recharge bible study: friends, classmates, brothers and sisters from other churches looking for a Bible-centered small group, and loved ones who are just curious to know why we love Jesus so much. People have come and gone, but each meeting and each moment is significant because the Lord touches […]

I began teaching our youth at FGSF just over a year ago, and trust me, I have been learning more than teaching. In His mysterious ways, God uses broken things to heal and restore, as He always has with those we can relate to in the Bible. And He chose to break me for His […]

The phrase “a living legend” may seem too flattering to describe most people, but I cannot think of a more fitting phrase to describe Rev. Kwan Chin Oh, lead Pastor of Full Gospel Church. Oh was born in South Korea and while he was in Junior high, he experienced the Holy Spirit’s powerful touch at […]
